Letter to the editor: Vote Brooke Shotts for Summit School District board

I have known Shotts for the past 10 years as a volunteer, parent and active community member, having served with her on multiple committees and boards at several schools. I believe in her ability to promote her agenda of better pay for teachers and staff; continued support for mental, social and emotional health curriculum; and wise spending. Her community involvement with multiple building accountability committees, plus her involvement at the district accountability level poise her for leadership in those areas. She is direct, approachable and level headed, all attributes that will serve her well in this new role.

I know she is knowledgeable in the basics of our current classroom curricula for reading, writing and arithmetic and knows their strengths and weaknesses. She has a desire to contribute to the progress of the Literacy Committee. I trust her to do right by all of our children when it comes to implementing new programs, or choosing to remain with current classroom content.

I ask you to join me in voting for Shotts.
